…AND NOW WHAT ARE WE GOING TO EAT?

NEW YEAR…NEW DIET?

I know I didn’t post a new recipe in a very long time. There are several reasons for this, but the main one right now is that I’m going through a real ‘cooking crisis’. It all started when my husband decided that he wanted to switch to this ‘PALEO DIET ‘ which is driving me absolutely crazy! (For those who are not familiar with this diet, it’s based on lean protein and non-starchy vegetables and fruits). First he bought me a ‘paleo book’ (The Paleo Solution) and then he asked me if we could quit all cereals and grains together and focus our diet on proteins like meat, vegetables and fruit!

I’m Italian! How can you ask someone who grew up mostly on pasta to give it up just like that? While I might agree on some of the bad effects of eating grains and dairy products in general, on the other hand even if I’m not a vegetarian, I don’t want to turn into a ‘cannibal’ either! So as answer to this, I have been studying and experimenting a lot in the kitchen with the ‘RAW FOOD DIET ‘, so that I can at least integrate it into my husband’s choice. (My last experiment in the kitchen took me exactly 24 hours to make it between the soaking and dehydrating of the food!) It’s a work in progress so please be patient, keep checking my blog and let’s see what happens…
